Is the one tile your are requesting directly through your browser the same size (in pixels, say 256x256) than each tile being displayed through OL? Or is the image requested through the browser much larger in extent and size than a single OL tile? <div>

I'm curious if anyone knows why WMS is SOOO much faster when I am loading my maps through a map (OpenLayers) than it is when I just try to pull a single tile directly through my brower and a WMS url?<div><br></div><div>
It seems like the server takes forever when I just enter a WMS URL into my browser's address bar, but when I load the same WMS map through OpenLayers its so much faster, despite loading all those seperate tiles individually instead of just the one I'm requesting in the browser.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Any ideas?</div><div><br></div>
